What's the over/under on Trump White House officials being indicted, convicted, and jailed?

The term "over/under" is a gambling term for a numeric outcome of an event, e.g. the total final score of a game. If the over/under of a game is 35 and you took the over, then you're betting that the total final score will be over 35.

For our game, what's the over/under on Trump White House officials being indicted, convicted, and actually jailed? Guess a number for each category

Indicted: 42
Convicted: 27
Jailed: 6

Slim chances. We're unlikely to see significant gains in 2018, and Sessions will run the DoJ. n/t Calista241 Jan 2017 #2

Trump's entourage is so uniformly and overwhelmingly crooked, eventually We The People will demand some of them be at least indicted. I figure Trump has at least one "burner" official in every department. When the department head gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar (or, more than likely, both hands and his head), the burner official will be wheeled out to take one for the team. This official will quietly resign and move across the street to go to work for a different agency at a higher paygrade.

but it looks as though those drained will all be nominated for positions in Groper Don the Con's administration
